eating clean or working out?

So this post got me thinking today because I think starting or re-starting is the hardest part of leading a healthy lifestyle. I cannot lie, during the last few weeks with finals I did not eat 100% clean and I could count on one hand the number of times I went to the gym. When I get stressed clean eating and the gym are the first priority to get the boot. I did so great with it in May during finals that I thought I would keep it up this semester but I #failed. So now I have to re-start with eating clean again and going to the gym regularly. I know some people find either eating clean or working out easy to commit to and the other is harder for them. For me, I have to commit to both and do them both or the other one suffers. If I don't eat healthy then I don't see any point in going to the gym because I am eating crap food anyway. But if I go to the gym I don't want to ruin it by coming home and eating something unhealthy. While I am going to get back on the wagon this week (because quite frankly I have no excuse not to), I won't be re-starting the 12 Week Trainer until after we get back from vacation. We are spending the holidays back east with the Fatkid's family and I can't wait. 

I am hoping that a few of you will also be re-starting it as a way to re-boot after the holiday and start the new year off fresh. I promise I will not fall off the face of the Earth next semester and am already putting together some personal goals to ensure I keep everything in my life I enjoy even when it gets busy. I am also going to share them for that extra bit of accountability. One of those includes finally finishing the other website. I was doing it myself so when I got busy with school it got put on hold. 

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend and are looking forward to the holiday season with your families!

Which do you find easier to commit to? Eating clean or working out?
